"They Say They Do"   by John Clapp  10/14-21/2009



Don't expect anyone to understand
	Many things you say go up in smoke
Your simplest thoughts are complicated
	Few understand your simplest joke
Your mind works on a plane beyond comprehension
	Your heart is bound up in constant tension

You feel for unfortunate souls
	Are forgiving our animate roles

You think before you speak
	You seek before you think
You wonder before you seek
	Elation before you sink

Good ideas don't go as planned
	Don't expect anyone to understand
